It’s an extremely healthy thing to have a fear of gods wrath. There’s many atrocities that have been committed throughout history that could have been prevented if the perpetrators were god fearing people.

If this true, than any tyrant lives like a God because many fear them them. I guess I am treated like a Goddess in my own humble little neighborhood and intimidating gangsters, abusive fathers, or violent officials must be like Gods in their little neighborhoods or households.

sounds like you believe in god because of "fear". Which is kind of sad, but its kind of how most religion works.

The pope said atheists can go to heaven, but based on the misogyny and xenophobia in this thread I'd guess most of these guys aren't Catholic.

Did the OP ever define what they meant by "God" in the question, "Is there a God"? I'm hesitant to read through 39 pages to see.

Only way to address such a question is to first define terms, which is up to the OP.

i believe there is a god and if i am wrong then in the end what does it matter, if i am wrong according to atheists then when i die i just rot in the ground, if they are wrong i go to heaven and they burn in hell.

That's called Pascal's wager

14:22 And the devil said when the matter was complete: "God had promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you and broke my promise. And I had no power over you except that I invited you and you responded to me. So do not blame me, but blame yourselves; I cannot help you nor can you help me. I reject that you have set me up as a partner before this; the wicked will have a painful retribution."

36:60 "Did I not pledge to you, O Children of Adam, that you should not serve the devil for he is your most ardent enemy?"

Another example of how casual it is for people like this to attempt to mock Christians.

These types of attacks never stand when other religious people and groups are attacked.

And still a good argument.

The pope has actually said that atheists can go to heaven, it's not a joke.

Also ironic that Atheists reject God because they fear that Hell is real and they'll be accountable for their sins. So they lie to themselves and say it doesn't exist. Yet we see lesser examples of Paradise and Hell on earth already. And imagine the extremes of those to get an idea of the Hereafter. There's such strong pain and joy already and to think that it goes even farther!
